Treffer: Editorial Introduction.

Network effects are the grounding of many highly successful business models in the contemporary commerce with online aspects. Although such effects are more frequently claimed than realized, the super-linear value increase with each additional customer is a powerful means for the platforms to expand their market (and other) power with their size. Oliver Hinz, Thomas Otter, and Bernd Skiera propose and test a new model for the estimation of network effects in two-sided markets, the common seller-buyer marketplaces these days prominently realized by large intermediary platforms. In a formal modeling of the software marketplace, they show that the presence of such hackers may result in a competitive marketplace where their absence could lead to a monopoly. Beyond that, in their two-platform model the authors establish that - under the circumstances they describe - software platform under hacker attack may drive a more secure platform out of business.
